Water colour painting

Over the last few weeks we have been experimenting with the new water colours. We have been learning how to blend and mix the colours on the paper. We washed the paper with water and used big brush strokes to create beautiful, colourful pictures.

Trying out different colours





Next we read the story of "Guess how much I love you" and looked at the way the illustrator had painted the pictures of the hares and landscape. We then drew pictures of hares and used black vivd to outline them. After we painted the background with bright water colours. Come into the foyer by the office to see the amazing pictures Room 6 have created.

What wonderful work,room 6,and beautifully presented.Water colour is my favourite medium.To make a sky,you can paint it blue,then while the paint is still wet,use a tissue to dab a few patches.This will show the white paper which will look like clouds.
